Little Alchemy

Little Alchemy is a fun and educational crafting game where players combine basic elements to create new, more complex items. Starting with simple elements such as air, earth, fire, and water, players mix them together to form new objects and explore their potential.

You can enjoy playing Little Alchemy Classic for free directly in your web browser! If you\'re looking for more content, check out its sequel, Little Alchemy 2.

How to Play

Start with the basics

The game begins with four fundamental elements: fire, water, earth, and air. These building blocks are the starting point for your exploration. As you combine them, new items will emerge, expanding your collection. This game is a great way to engage with different combinations, offering both fun and learning opportunities for players of all ages.

Mix the elements

The available elements can be found in the sidebar. Every time you create a new item, it will appear there for easy access. As you try various combinations, the canvas can become cluttered, but there’s a handy cleanup button at the bottom right to refresh the workspace.

Alchemy combinations

Recloak regularly updates Little Alchemy Classic with new items to discover. At present, there are 560 items in the original version of the game.

Some combinations are straightforward, while others may require more imaginative thinking. For example, logical combinations include:

• Fire + Earth = Lava
• Earth + Air = Dust
• Steam + Air = Cloud
• Earth + Lava = Volcano
• Fire + Stone = Metal

However, not all combinations are intuitive—like water and horse creating a hippo. Sometimes, it\'s necessary to experiment with seemingly unrelated elements to discover unexpected results.

Tips

If you find yourself stuck and can’t think of any new combinations, there are plenty of guides available online to help. A great resource is the Little Alchemy page on Fandom.
